    R U Going to Michigan State game?

    Since there is no Minny road trip this year, my son and I decided on an impulse trip to East Lansing. I hope Iowa fans will adopt MSU as THE travel game of the year since tickets are easier than OSU and it is such a big game. Get 10k Iowa fans up there to make a dent in that MSU crowd...rev it...

    Stanzi best Hawkeye QB ever?

    Chuck ended up with over 10,000 yards passing in 4 years as a starter. Ricky is on track to maybe get to 8,000 as an almost 3 year starter. Per game, he might come close but I doubt it. My top 6 list includes: Duncan Ploen Long Banks Rodgers Tate In the team picture: Hartlieb,Stanzi. Stanzi...

    Question Of the Day: If the Hawks Win Out...

    I would be fuming. I do not think it would happen. I think if we win out, with road wins at MSU and OSU, the human polls would catch up to the computers and Iowa would move up to #3...assuming Texas loses. And then to #2 after the SEC title game. No one wants to see a re-match of the SEC title...

    AJ DERBY's position at Iowa

    This is what the redshirt year is for...developing his QB skills. He can compete as a redshirt frosh with Vandy and Weinke. If he cannot beat either of them out as a sophmore, then he makes the call on changing or if he is the heir apparent as a jr/sr at qb. A lot can change over several years...

    TE from Ill.

    I wonder if this is actually true. If a recruit has opened up his recruiting and wants to check out a couple more school, at Iowa, KF has this policy.But I wonder if he insists that an illini commit actually de-commit to come and visit Iowa? I think it would depend on the recruit. CJ had Iowa...

    How many Big Ten wins for Iowa?

    I will say they will win zero road games. At home they might beat PSU,NW,IU and that is no guarantee. I hate to say it but I cannot see them winning more than 4, and it could be as few as 1-2. IU will be very young so maybe vulnerable. I just hope we do not duplicate IU's last season and get our...

    My Big Ten Week 8 Predictions

    I agree in general with your picks but IU 28 NW 24. Fitz admitted that he is giving up on running the ball after saturday. PSU 24 Mich 21...closer than you think, and lower scoring due to bad weather. OSU 17 Minny 7...minnys defense decent,OSU defense better. PU 31 Illini 20....PU's qb and rb...

    Weather Looks Nasty for Saturday Night

    Unfortunately, Iowa also depends on the passing attack, a deep passing attack ,to move the ball. I do not like bad weather when we are the more talented team on the road. It evens out the talent gap. And bad weather tends to bring out the savage in the home fans. See Iowa vs PSU in 08. I am...

    Matt and Miller 1460 KXNO

    Luginbill came back in the next segment and corrected himself,saying he should know better,and that Iowa does play OSU...just to set the record straight.

    I have a feeling...

    Just win. That will be my mantra the rest of the year. By one point or 100...does not matter in the end. AS Hayden always said , at the end of the year they do not ask ''How?'' They only ask ''how many?''.

    7-0 Despite trailing in 6 of our 7 games.

    I agree. OSU won ugly all year. Iowa was blowing out teams down the stretch and OSU was beating PU by a last second td...stuff like that. OSU had a great defense, smart qb,and good rb in Clarett. Sound familiar? They won ugly in the NC game. The media liked Miami til the gun sounded. Then OSU...

    One of the biggest games ever for Iowa this weekend?

    It is big,no doubt. I just hope the players avoid any discussion like this or they may get nervous. It is still just one game...and will not make or break our season or our goal...winning the league. I want to see how PSU does at Michigan this weekend but I do think that they are going to go on...

    Wegher vs Robinson

    Filmguy on the old site broke down the wisky game on film and analyzed the rbs performance and he indicated that based on film evidence , Wegher missed some seams in the line ...about 4-5 times, and bounced plays outside at least twice when he should have stayed inside. Just a recognition factor...

    Devon Archie Injured (Collarbone)

    This is a shame.Hawks only have 10 scholly athletes as it is, and this cuts that number to 9 for awhile. Hope Archie recovers quickly. Good luck to him. We have to cross our fingers and pray that the hawks remain healthy and eligible the rest of the way...they have a thin margin of error and a...

    I believe we're essentially down to a one-game season....

    Is it just the hawks,or is the road factor less thruout the big ten and college football this year? IU went to Michigan and should have won in the Big House. Iowa went to PSU and Wisky and won. The Hawks have not played great in Kinnick this year outside of the Arizona game. This is why I think...

    Best & Worst of the Big Ten: Week Seven

    Yea, I am rooting for PSU to run the table. If they do lose to Michigan, not a disaster as that will help Michigans value for our SOS, and give us a little breathing room. I also look at PSU as the only other viable candidate for a BCS bowl and I like the two bcs bowl payday for the league...

    Can the o-line bounce back after last week?

    Just based on stats...MSU leads the league in sacks with 21..Iowa has 13. Greg Jones,their lb,leads their team with 5 sacks,and a dt has 4.5 Jones leads the league in tackles averaging 12. MSU is second in the league stopping the run.. MSU leads the league in protecting their QB also..only...

    Thru 7 Games: Who is Iowa's MVP?

    Ricky is a close pick over Adrian and Angerer,with Amauri...Triple AAA?, all in the team picture. Tony will be there if he keeps it up. ARob could make it AAAA.

    5 wide

    Sorry, style points are meaningless at this point. If Iowa wins their next 5 games by one point, they will be #4 in everything if Texas,Bama and Florida win out. If Iowa wins by 40 pts their last 5 games ,Iowa will be #4 in every poll if Texas,Bama and Florida win out... Just win,Hawks.

    Rick Stanzi: All Big Ten QB??

    I agree. Clark is back in a groove and if PSU runs the table as I suspect, he will be tough to beat. However, if Iowa runs the table, we will be the champs and very highly ranked so that will help Ricky. Also, if Ricky can lead us to a win vs MSU...we then have 3 home games vs beatable teams...
